economic and moral issue. Thus it requires punishment.Punishment is informed by
opportunities for economic exploitation/advantage, moral condemnation, and religious ideas (the mad are cast as the Fallen)

Madness, transgression, and art- Transgression: Exploring the boundaries of conventional notions of
morality and truth.
- Examples in literature: Bataille, Genet, Artaud, etc.
- Resonates with Foucault:Foucault writes: “madness has become mans possibility for
abolishing both man and the world….it is the last recourse: the end and beginning of everything…it is the ambiguity of chaos and the apocalypse” (F 281).
![Page 25: Madness and Civilization. Chapter 1 Stultifera Navis Challenge to historiography Did such ships exist? Significance to argument of text? Bosch -](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649cc55503460f9498f443/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Foucault and Artaud:- Foucault’s thoughts on madness as ‘the end and beginning of everything’ resonate with Artaud’s writing, particularly his essay, “No More Masterpieces,” in which Artaud declares:
- Reverence for the past works of art serves to imprison the art of today and the art to come. - The phenomena of masterpieces alienates art from the public via its ‘superstitious’ reverence for texts. - If the public finds a given masterpiece irrelevant and incomprehensible, it is not the fault of the public, but the fault of the work itself and system in which such works are defied.
![Page 26: Madness and Civilization. Chapter 1 Stultifera Navis Challenge to historiography Did such ships exist? Significance to argument of text? Bosch -](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649cc55503460f9498f443/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Both Foucault and Artaud see conventional notions of psychology as an obstruction to the potential of art and creativity.
-Artaud holds psychology accountable for “..working relentlessly to reduce the unknown to the known,” (Artaud 77).
- Artaud declares theater must go beyond psychological concerns such as woes over social careerism, money and love.
![Page 27: Madness and Civilization. Chapter 1 Stultifera Navis Challenge to historiography Did such ships exist? Significance to argument of text? Bosch -](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649cc55503460f9498f443/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Both Foucault and Artaud see the dislocating experience of madness as potentially productive, capable of yielding unique insights. Artaud seeks an art which mirrors the experience of madness.
- Artaud proposes a theater which confronts its audience in visceral and disorientating way, a theater which he likens to lava in a volcanic explosion.

Eviction Evil or good angels, I don’t know which,hurled you into my soul. Lonely,without furniture or sleeping space,vacant. Intrepidly, the wind woundsthe walls,the finest panes of glass. Dampness. Chains. Cries.Wind guests. I ask you:when you leave the house,tell mewhich evil, which cruel angelswill want to rent it again? Tell me.
From “Concerning the Angels,” by Rafael Alberti.

Concluding Thoughts
How does Foucault’s Madness and Civilization apply to Library Science?
Speaks to nature of classification in general, specifically:
The potential for cultural perspective and/or cultural bias to inform the ways in which knowledge or information is classified, structured, limited, and interacted with.
